1. Life is a Picnic
Bring to life some healthy picnic ideas at the park! Put together a meal that’s complete with the works. Fill up a basket with some yummy and healthy picnic foods, snacks, sandwiches and beverages and grab a comfy quilt to sit on. Don’t forget to pack plates, napkins, utensils and bug spray! Find a nice spot under the shade and enjoy the springtime breeze combined with great conversation and quality time.
2. Move with Mom
If your mom is into fitness, schedule a fun total body workout class that you can take together. Group workouts are a fun way to strengthen your bodies and relationships. Break a sweat and have fun at a power yoga class, spin class, Zumba or aerobics. Dancing is another great low impact activity that many mothers enjoy. You could head to a community line dancing class and learn something new while you create memories.
